A denial of service (DoS) vulnerability exists in Xen due to a mishandling of the constraint that once-valid event channels may not turn invalid. An unprivileged guest may be able to crash Xen, leading to a denial of service for the entire system.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
